I think implementations on Ubuntu are much better and robust, showing the current status of installation / catalog update / deinstallation properly, more work has to be be done here.
The Conversations App
Conversations is a great app. The two most irritating things are why is there no Emails support for conversations? (Or Am I doing something wrong). And why did Nokia not finish the IM support for ICQ or MSN, or similar, which you can find in any common chat software. I installed the telephathy-haze extras (which you are not supposed to do) and it seems to work flawlessly.
The Modest Email Client
I like modest, it is minimal and somewhat fast, renders also HTML and I like the compose window. But besides missing smaller features like autocomplete mail addresses input and a spam filter the missing search function is just unjustifiable. How Am I supposed to find anything with huge mail boxes you have nowadays. This feature is so obvious that I really blame people for not having it implemented.
The MircoB Browser
Even though I am somewhat impressed, that browsing is similar to a normal computer and even goes beyond that with the "panorama" history it is far from being a nice experience. It starts from zooming using pitching which moves the web page around, goes over a missing back button (swipe?) and ends with flash sites, which totally kill your system.
--snip--
Another disappointing thing is the missing support for good plug-ins like weave. Before I bought the N900 I saw the Fennec Video with Weave plugin which I think is really really cool. But now, having the N900, it makes you realize it was more show than working. MicroB does not support Weave and the Fennec Beta 5 is even slower than anything else. Essential more work has to be done here.
[*] The whole system hangs sporadically / slows down
[*] WPA max key length field of 64 digits, whereas one need 65
[*] The MfE 2003 debacle
[*] No button for manually setting up a WiFi with the router in automatic setup mode, whereas the "Press button on router to connect..." message is in most cases totally useless, as there is no access to the device and should not be default
Ovi maps - removed, ovi store erm... why even care with all the Free Software around.

I wont go into the conflicting items in this post - but what I will say is that I just went to Ralph Laurens web site and had zero problems - responded quickly, was able to not only search for a store but bring up the map and pan around on both the road and 3d building view.
Unsure why you have such trouble
But I agree with the TC about Ovi Maps and the Ovi store.

Erm emails support??? you mean emails IN conversations??? What a horrible thought. I'd like to yank the SMS out of it. As for MSN and ICQ. Well with a jabber account and MSN and ICQ transports one doesn't even notice this things. And as you said a simpleu install of -haze fixed the problem as well.

osflight can you not understand your reasoning is flawed..
you could have quite easily got a refund on your purchase and bought a new one
or kept the one you have got,updated when the fw comes and not taken the loss you are gonna make from selling one now..
if you are that rich to throw away money- why do you even need to sell it??
its ridiculas

No one understands why you would sell/re-buy?Just keep it, use it, and apply the updates as they happen.
